About this template

Under stress people run on default strategies — reappraisal, suppression, avoidance or discharge — usually without naming them. This twelve-item quiz profiles that balance across four dimensions and generates an AI style report, giving DBT, CBT and emotion-focused work a concrete starting map instead of guessing which skill is missing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which emotion-regulation strategies should a quiz measure?
At minimum reappraisal (reframing), suppression (hiding), avoidance (dodging) and impulsivity (discharge) — the balance between them matters more than any single total.
Is this the official ERQ?
No — it is an original item set inspired by the widely studied regulation-strategy framing; scores are indicative, not a diagnosis.
Is suppression always bad?
Not always — the report frames suppression as context-dependent; the issue is rigidity, and the quiz shows whether it is your default.
Is it free to use?
Yes — copy the quiz, scoring and AI report into your FormLM workspace at no cost.
What does the AI consultant add?
It answers follow-up questions about the score breakdown between sessions.
How often should clients retake it?
Per therapy phase — watching reappraisal rise while impulsivity falls is a strong outcome signal.
